"I want to do more!"
Do
you find yourself feeling like you want to do more, be more and
achieve more? Wanting to be more skillful or more of a “success”
does have its benefits in that it motivates you to aim high, helps
you to move forward and accomplish many things. But what could become
a worry and hinder you reaching your true potential is the need for
“wanting more” becoming an obsession. This obsession can
sometimes make us lose sight of what is already in front of us. It
can also take away what actually is more important to us.
Believe
in yourself!
What
we tend to do in the process of “wanting more” is a need to
put ourselves down. We find it difficult to positively praise
ourselves to others as we don't want to sound as what some people
might describe as “cocky”. But maybe there is a way we can
acknowledge and praise our achievements without the negative impact
of being “cocky”. It's about us being more sincere with ourselves
and saying it how it is as opposed to what we think may sound
'cool'. Know how far you have come and where you need to go.
Isn't
it okay to acknowledge your hard work and feel proud of your
achievements despite having not reached your main 'goal'? Being aware
that you can do more and be better shouldn't have a negative impact
on what you have already achieved and how you see yourself.
Having
a clear intention on what you want is a good start but it may seem
like a dream that will not manifest itself if there is no action
placed behind for instance, your dream to be more sociable, find a
partner, be a good parent, lose weight or be your own boss.
If
you do know what you desire then make it clear to yourself on how to
get there. We tend to blame not having enough time, money, energy,
support as the reason for us not achieving our dreams. By placing
blame on any of these things does this take away a sense of
responsibility from ourselves? This is your life and no one but you
can make it fabulous!
